People start things up for all different reasons. I agree that the folks making up stories for clicks is wrong but plenty are just vlogging their journey for fun. Nothing wrong with it. Even some Vloggers are annoying, with their constant video recording and talking while recording 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of all meals being made for me, but I would want the option to make something myself. There will be opportunities for full UWC folks to submit dishes/recipes to be served in WJ in coming months FWIW, all these 'show stoppers' are killing us. You either want to do this voyage or you don't. The excuses are funny 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like being able to go in the kitchen whenever I want, using whatever ingredients I want, to make whatever I want. I'm not saying everyone has to want that. It's just something that I enjoy doing, and would not want to not be able to do it. No excuses here. Just stating a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's John's goal to torment him if he gets out of hand. He even added Tic Toc to his phone Never heard of him, although that's not a surprise. I fully support John in his efforts, but still not adding TicTok to my phone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned over the years to forage from salad bar to have them create fabulous stir fry. Kind of a scavenger hunt. Same with salad bar, pasta bar, etc.. Plenty of opportunities to put my own spin on the dishes I eat. Today John had them add the fried onion rings from my wedge salad as a garnish to his steak frites 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of signing up for the always funny egg drop contest for tomorrow...just have to get creative with a contraption. Have never entered one of those before, but always love watching it. 😄 John can give you some insight on egg drop contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A highlight of the trip My first $1000+ excursion We really enjoyed our two day trip to Iguazu in 2005 pre cruise on our own before our HAL around the Horn cruise. Flew from Rio to São Paulo, then to the Argentine side of the falls, stayed at the hotel there. Had a private tour guide who picked us up at the airport then to hotel. Did the boat the drove up to the edge of the falls, we all got wet, we were not liked by our French compatriots on the boat because they didn’t want to get wet. We walked the decks on the Argentine side til, a park ranger told us to get off them because the Jaguars come out at night and eat tourists. Had dinner went to bed next day they tour guide picked us up and took, us to the Brazilian side where we walked the decks that are below the falls. All spectacular. Went back to the airport after a trip to a tourist shop. Flew back to Rio, met our English friends at the hotel. Took of the next afternoon on the cruise. The next day went to Montenegro, where I started suffering from bad allergies. By the second day in Buenos Aires, our private tour guide took me to a pharmacy where I got some drugs that cured me before we got to the Falklands. I doubt I spent a thousand for K and I for all of that. 🤣 Of course, that was 18+ years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schooner has a toasted marshmallow old fashion. Substitute Skrewball for bourbon. Let us know how it tastes. 🙂 Wow...no calories in that either. Will have to try it ...thanks!

We talk like this show our age, half time my Daughter doesn't understand and my Grand Daughter just thinks Papa's nuts. GD eats all Fruit's, steamed Broccoli with nothing on it and both Girls on Med style Diet. I was raised on White Bread, Meatloaf, Hot Dogs and Mac n Cheese, with Meat and Potatoes on Sunday Oh yeah...that Mac and cheese in a box with mystery powder. 😄 Don't forget "Spaghetti Os" in a can.
